Landscaping Ideas Around Pools
I need ideas for How To Landscape behind my pool without killing my bank account.?
I have a small area behind my pool where there are a few decent-sized palm trees and grass and weeds. We want to do something attractive with that area, but we don’t have a lot of money. It’s hard to mow there because everything goes flying into the pool. We’ve pulled the grass out a few times, but that is frustrating, back breaking work that lasts much shorter than you’d think. It grows back pretty darned fast. I’ve been told not to landscape with lava rock. What can I use? I need rocks that are big enough that if they’re knocked into the pool, they won’t be sucked up by the vacuum. I’m up for any ideas at this point. I live in the DFW area of Texas.
We have neighbors all around us, behind and on both sides, so growing something that will spread is difficult. We considered bamboo, but don’t want it popping up in our neighbors’ well-manicured lawns.
Help… please.
Thank you!

Hey,,,,, I’m in Plano. I had shrubs around my pool. They had to be trimmed regularly….back breaking work. My son and myself dug them all up. Not really that hard. I planted “yuccas” and “cactus”. They don’t have to be watered nor trimmed. They look great and cost very little. I went for a ride to Breckenridge, TX. There are several small gravel roads past Weatherford. You can drive down them and dig up cactus. I did. Replanted them and they are doing great. Also while there, I filled the back of the truck with good size rocks. Not too big so you couldn’t lift them. I put down red and black landscape lava rock. Put the large rocks all over the place. Looks great. Did the same with the front of the house. I made about three trips to pickup more rocks. They cost allot of money if you buy them at Home Depot. All they cost me was gas. I bet I got about 100 of ‘em. Good Luck!!!!
